I'm in dire need of some new entertainment to read and I've been on a comic kick recently. I've read some manga and I'd like to get some more, rather than just stumble into things once in a while.

I think I enjoy action manga, though I get bored with the fights pretty quick. I'm interested in every genre I suppose, as long as it's interesting. I'll list what I've read and enjoyed here, moreso you'll have an idea of what I'd be into, not to tie me down to that genre. Really I'd love to broaden my horizon, but this is slop I'm looking for - easy reading.

  • Fullmetal Alchemist
  • Mieruko
  • Berserk
  • Detective Conan
  • One Piece (though since dressrosa I've not been as into it. Mainly reading out of habit these days)
  • Early Naruto (In general I feel like Shonen start off with an interesting premise and then it does a timeskip and it becomes all about power levels. I don't understand why they do that.)
  • Yu-Gi-Oh!
  • Shaman King
  • Junji Itos stuff
  • Dragon Ball (should have stopped after the cell games tbh)
  • Delicious in Dungeon
  • Death note
  • solo levelling.

And recently I read solo leveling which was some nice enough isekai slop. I wouldn't mind getting a good isekai recommended.
I dislike fanservice though, so that eliminates all isekai more or less.

For something a bit more obscure than other recommendations: Akumetsu is pretty good. It's basically Death Note except the protagonist is a politically incoherent high schooler going after high profile corrupt politicians and the power is some kind of duplication thing so he's just kind of running in and killing them personally before immediately dying himself, over and over. It's made funnier by the fact that the targets are apparently really obvious expies of specific real contemporary politicians.

Someone else mentioned Witch Hat Atelier, and I've got to second that. I'm not all the way through it, but it's very good, both visually and narratively.
